Go to Network and Sharing Center
Advanced Network options

Scroll down to where it specifies 'password protected sharing' and turn it off.

Solved the problem when I first encountered it on the network here.
Hi thanks for taking the time to reply.

However, something strange has just happened. The 'password protected sharing' was already set to 'off'. So I changed it to 'on', then from this machine double clicked the drive set as 'htpc-e on fusion' double clicked it and up popped a password prompt. I then went back to the MCE machine, this time I set the 'password protected sharing' to 'off' and came back to this machine and double clicked 'htpc-e on fusion' and it continues to give me the password prompt. I shutdown Xplorer2 the file manager I use opened Windows Explorer, the same thing happens with the same password prompt.

However, I have another drive the 'htpc-e' drive I no longer seen by the Desktop machine. However I have another drive in there called 'matter' and I click on that receiving the same 'you dont have permission to access this network resource' but no password prompt trying to access this drive, even though its the same ruddy machine!!

I would welcome any other advice?

Thank you.
